OBP2010 is bottled!

Our 2010 is finally in the bottle! We tried it recently and it is a little fuller, a little spicier than the '09, which makes me happy indeed. Here's hoping it delivers same on the other side of bottle shock. It will not be approachable for a number of months yet.

This makes me wonder, how do such young wines cope in a wine show? The International Cool Climate Wine Show is coming up, and has a field especially for the 2010 vintage. Do the judges take into consideration that these wines are barely through bottling? Is it a two or three horse race between those wines that get through bottle shock earlier than the rest of the pack? We shall enter the show and find out!
